Chapter 560 Are You Too Modest? (Urgently Looking for a Monthly Pass)

Aston Villa's schedule is very dense.

Two days later, Aston Villa ushered in the twenty-fourth round of the league.

In this game, Fang Jue used rotation.

He replaced more than half of the starting lineup.

After the start of the season, Clement, who played almost all the games without any change, also got a chance to rest.

Although Clement doesn't really need a break at all.

But Fang Jue considered giving other players more opportunities, so he still "forced" Clement to watch the game with his family in the stands.

Sidwell replaced Clement in the midfielder position.

He and team captain Petrov partnered with double midfielders.

Left midfield is Gareth Bale.

The right midfielder is Quaresma.

Up front, Diego Costa and Abanglaho partnered.

At the left back position, veteran Wilfred Bouma started.

However, rumors abound that the Dutch veteran is set to leave Aston Villa.

Fang Jue trusted Milner more as a guest left back, which greatly reduced Wilfred Bouma's playing time.

The media said conclusively that the Dutch veteran's days at Villa Park are numbered.

At the right back position, Lu Keyan got the start, and there are many rumors about the transfer of this England native right back.

Fang Jue also doesn't trust Lu Keyan very much. In more games, people see Cuellar playing this position.

...

In the position of central defender, Senderos continued to start.

He is partnered with the young teenager Cillon Clarke.

Another young player, Senegalese teenager Coulibaly, sat on the bench.

After Mane became famous in the first battle, people are also more interested in Coulibaly, who was packed with Mane and brought from Ibiza by Fang Jue.

However, Coulibaly did not get many opportunities to play, and sometimes went back to participate in reserve team games.

Some media concluded that Fang Jue only packed Mane and Coulibaly from Ibiza at the beginning. In fact, the target was only Mane. Coulibaly is a mandatory bond of buy one get one free. Talent and ability are average.

At the goalkeeper position, American veteran Friedel started.

It can be said that Fang Jue has undergone a considerable rotation in this game.

Make such a big rotation.

There are two main reasons.

One is that the players are too tired.

From December 12, 2009 to the current end of January 2010, Aston Villa has played twelve games.

An average of a little more than three days is a game.

It also includes a home game against Manchester United, two games against Arsenal, and a home game against Liverpool.

According to Dr. Osoralana, the physical condition of Aston Villa's main players has reached a critical and fragile point, and they need to rest more to avoid injuries.

Another reason is that the opponent Fulham in this game is relatively weak.

Fulham ranks tenth in the league, the pressure to relegation is not so great, and the will to fight is not so strong.

Of course, in fact, there is another reason, and that is to save energy for the next game.

Aston Villa's next game is at White Hart Lane at Tottenham Hotspur, who are fighting for a top four place in the league.

In addition, this rotation is also a release of stimulation and status for the players.

For example, in training, Diego Costa and Abanglaho worked very hard.

Obviously, in the game against Arsenal, the outbursts of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo made these two young players feel tremendous pressure.

Substitute players like Wilfred Bouma and Lu Keyan who have 'transfer scandals' will cherish the rare starting opportunity even more. This is a stage for them to show themselves to potential new clubs.

I believe these players will surprise Fang Jue in today's game.

...

Fang Jue carefully studied the Fulham team.

This team is interesting.

They can beat Manchester United 3-0 at home and Liverpool 3-1.

It can also lose to Blackburn 0-3.

Don't think that Fulham is the nemesis of the strong team of "robbing the rich and giving to the poor".

Fang Jue has studied Fulham's victory over Manchester United and Liverpool. It is not so much that Fulham wins, but that Manchester United and Liverpool performed poorly.

This team's defense is very average. Manchester United and Liverpool lost because their offense was not strong, and they also wasted some opportunities.

To put it bluntly, Fulham is the kind of mediocre team that actually has average defense, average offense, and average strength.

This is a very lucky team. It has encountered traditional BIG4 several times this season, and the opponent's state is very bad, and the camp is full of injuries.

For such a team, give him a shot as soon as he comes up, so that he can't stand it, screams, and then burps.

Therefore, Fang Jue's tactics for the team are, attack, attack, attack!

The attack group formed by Gareth Bale, Quaresma, Diego Costa and Abanglajo is also worth looking forward to.

...

Facts proved him right.

In the 11th minute of the game, Gareth Bell made a cross from the wing and Diego Costa grabbed the spot in the middle.

A beautiful tackle in front of the goal, the football flew into Fulham's goal.

At this point, Fulham did not realize that they were in danger.

Fulham, who played at home, pressed out and tried to equalize the score as soon as possible.

But it was quickly seized by Aston Villa to fight a beautiful and successful counterattack.

Aston Villa captain Petrov made a long pass from the back to the front.

After receiving the ball, Abang Lahuo, who was forward, dribbled the ball alone and broke through.

Facing the attacking Fulham goalkeeper, Abanglahor's first shot was saved, but the football bounced back in front of Abanglahor, and he finally made a steady shot this time.

Petrov, who sent the pass, pretended to be angry, saying that Abanglahor deliberately missed one of his assists.

This goal completely destroyed Fulham's fighting spirit.

Less than 20 minutes into the first half, they fell behind 0-2.

Moreover, there was only six or seven minutes between the two conceded goals, which was a great blow to Fulham's morale.

During the intermission, Fang Jue highly praised the team's performance, and told them to make persistent efforts in the second half and take advantage of this game to score as many goals as possible.

Aston Villa is the team with the least number of goals and the least goal difference among the top four in the league.

After the 23rd round of the league, Aston Villa scored 47 goals, conceded 19 goals, and the goal difference was only 28. You must know that among these 47 goals, they also scored against Arsenal in the previous game. of seven balls.

The league leader Chelsea scored 56 goals and conceded 19 goals, with a goal difference of 37.

League second Manchester United scored 53 goals, conceded 19 goals, and a goal difference of 34.

Even for Arsenal, the fourth place behind Aston Villa, and even the team with the most goals in the Premier League, they scored 59 goals, conceded 28 goals, and had a goal difference of 31.

Fang Jue and the coaching staff have also discussed this issue. The championship and fourth-place competition throughout the season are quite complicated. This made Fang Jue seriously realize that the team needs to score more goals and get more goal difference.

In the second half of the game, the players thoroughly implemented Fang Jue's instructions.

A chance of a set kick, Quaresma's instep arc kick broke through Fulham's goal, and the opponent's goalkeeper had nothing to do with Quaresma's unique kick.

...

With a three-to-zero lead, Fang Jue also started to make substitutions one after another.

Mane came on for Gareth Bale.

Coulibaly also replaced Clark and got more playing time.

Young left-back O'Halloran came on as a substitute for Dutch veteran Wilfred Bauma.

The team is leading by a large score, and the opponent is average. This is a good opportunity for young players to come up to experience the game, improve themselves and gain experience.

In fact, it is relatively rare in football to replace a young player in a critical situation and hope that the young man will turn the tide. So many stars are powerless, and you expect a young man to turn the tide?

More situations are like this now, young people need a relatively loose game environment to adapt to the game and improve themselves.

Fulham striker Andy Johnson pulled a goal back for Fulham in the 81st minute.

However, Aston Villa soon retaliated, and Quaresma's free kick assisted Abanglaho to score a header.

Abanglaho scored twice, and at the same time locked the score at four to one.

At the end of the game, the camera showed a close-up of the coach seat of the visiting team. Fang Jue had a smug smile on his face and applauded to celebrate.

He is very satisfied with this game.

The lineup was rotated, allowing many main players to rest.

It also trained young people, including young people like Coulibaly, Albrighton, and Ciron Clark, who gained good opportunities to gain experience.

The most important thing is that in this game, Aston Villa can be said to have played most of the substitute lineup, and they were still able to beat Fulham by a large score, which gave Fang Jue confidence.

It seems that the team's bench depth is still good.

In this case, is it a bit too modest to set the goal of qualifying for the Champions League in the top four of the league?
